The July storytelling rounds have begun!

Here is the Earth.Here is the sky.Here are my friends.And here am I.

Back into harness, loading the car with stories and visiting schools, kindergartens and childcare centres.

Children's Book Week is almost upon us. My book Lyrebird! A true story (illustrated by Peter Gouldthorpe and published by Museum Victoria) has been short listed by the Children's Book Council of Australia and I reckon that's worth throwing my hands in the air!

This photo was taken this morning at a child care centre in Melbourne. Lets support the people, who look after our children, in their bid for a pay rise. I see with my eyes how hard they work with energy, courtesy, intelligence and patience.
